Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the invention and the accompanying drawings. In addition, in this specification, a "system" is a logical assembly structure of a some apparatus, and each component apparatus is not limited to being in the same housing.

Hereinafter, the recording apparatus, recording reservation system, article management system, recording method, and computer program of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, a hardware configuration of the recording apparatus 100 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The recording apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment records a broadcast program (broadcast content) that is broadcast from time to time by each broadcasting station. In addition, a search and presentation service of the recorded content is provided to the user as needed. The recording apparatus 100 can be mounted as an AV device, and can be configured integrally with a television receiver such as, for example, a set top box STB.

In the recording apparatus 100, the CPU (Central Processing Unit) 111 as the main controller is interconnected with each hardware component via the bus 101 to execute comprehensive control on each component. Hereinafter, each part of this recording apparatus 100 is demonstrated.

The broadcast wave received by the antenna (not shown) is supplied to the tuner 102. The broadcast wave follows the format of the regulation, and may include, for example, program guide information (EPG: Electric Program Guide). The broadcast wave does not particularly distinguish terrestrial wave, satellite wave, wired or wireless.

The tuner 102 tunes, or tunes, a broadcast wave of a predetermined channel according to the instruction from the CPU 111, and outputs the received data to the subsequent demodulator 103. The demodulator 103 demodulates the received data which is digitally modulated. The tuner 102 can be appropriately changed or expanded depending on whether the broadcast wave being transmitted is analog or digital.

For example, in the case of digital satellite broadcasting, digital data received and demodulated from a broadcast wave is a "transport stream" formed by multiplexing AV data compressed with MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group 2) and broadcast data. The former AV data is video and audio information constituting the broadcast content main body. The latter broadcast data is data related to the broadcast program main body and includes, for example, an EPG. And, the transport stream is defined as a "transport layer" defined in connection with the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model.

The decoder 104 analyzes this transport stream and separates the AV data compressed in MPEG2 into broadcast data. Also, real-time AV data compressed by the MPEG2 method is separated into compressed video data and compressed audio data. MPEG-2 decompression is performed on the video data to reproduce the original video signal, and PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) decoding on the audio data is performed after synthesis with the additional sound to be a reproduced audio signal. The decoder 104 may include the work data storage memory 105 in its local memory. The reproduced video signal is displayed and output on the display 121 via the composer 108, and the reproduced audio signal is output to the speaker 122 via the mixer 106.

The decoder 104 transmits the broadcasting data separated from the transport stream to the CPU 111 via the bus 101. In the CPU 111, the broadcast data can be processed by a predetermined application and used for creating an EPG screen.

In addition, the decoder 104 can transmit the MPEG2 stream before the decompression processing to the CPU 111 or another device (for example, the HDD 115, etc.) via the bus 101 at the request of the CPU 111. have.

The user interface control unit 107 is a module that processes an input operation from a user. For example, the user interface control unit 107 is a remote controller via an operation button / switch (not shown) for direct manual operation by a user, an infrared ray (IR), or the like. 131, a function capable of remote operation is provided. In addition, a display panel or an LED indicator (not shown) for displaying the current setting contents may be included.

The CPU 111 is a main controller that manages the operation of the entire recording apparatus 100, and can execute various applications on a platform provided by the operating system OS, for example.

The random access memory (RAM) 112 is a writable volatile memory used for loading the execution program code of the CPU 111 or writing the operation data of the execution program. The ROM (Read Only Memory) 113 is a read-only memory that permanently stores a self-diagnostic initialization program executed when the recording apparatus 100 is powered on, a hardware operation control code, and the like.

The communication interface 116 is an interface connected to various networks, such as a LAN and the Internet, and has a structure which can communicate with various apparatuses connected by LAN, and the server connected to an external network.

The hard disk device (HDD) 115 is a random-accessible external storage device capable of storing programs, data, and the like in a file format of a predetermined format, and has a large capacity of, for example, several tens of GB (or 100 GB or more). The storage space on the hard disk is managed by the operating system, for example.

The HDD 115 is connected to the bus 101 via the hard disk interface 114. In the present embodiment, the hard disk device 115 is used as a recording area for broadcast program content and also as a storage area for EPG information. Moreover, it is used as a storage area | region of various information, such as program information and article information mentioned later. In realizing the present invention, the large capacity external storage device is not particularly limited to the hard disk device, and for example, a recording medium 132 such as a DVD accessible through the media interface 117 may be used. However, it is more preferable that these recording media are randomly accessible.

The CPU 111 can execute various applications under the control of the operating system OS. The CPU 111, for example, in response to a user command via the remote controller 131 or the U / I control unit 107, issues a recording instruction or a reproduction instruction of the content (or whether or not there is an explicit user instruction). Regardless, you may always perform a recording operation).

In the recording operation, the MPEG2 stream before the decompression processing is transmitted from the decoder 104 to the HDD 115 by a command from the CPU 111. The data transfer method is not particularly limited, such as a PIO (program IO) transfer method or a DMA (Direct Memory Access) transfer method. On the HDD 115, each broadcast content is stored according to the time series for each virtual channel.

When reproducing the recorded content, the MPEG2 stream taken out from the HDD 115 is transmitted to the decoder 104 via the bus 101 by a command from the CPU 111. The decoder 104 separates the compressed video data and the compressed audio data as in the case of reception, performs MPEG2 decompression processing, restores the original video and audio data, and reproduces them.

Examples of the processing performed by the CPU 111 include the following processing in addition to recording and reproducing broadcast program contents.

(1) In EPG analysis, for example, digital satellite broadcasting, an EPG written in broadcast data distributed in association with broadcast content is extracted and analyzed.

(2) We produce recording reservation list according to article information acquired from article management system mentioned later.

(3) A schedule for recording and reproducing is generated based on the recording reservation list generated according to the article information, the EPG analysis result, and time information. The generated schedule is stored in the hard disk device 115 as a broadcast program table (Time Table) in the recording device 100.

The graphics processing controller 109 generates the graphics issued by the CPU 111. It is a dedicated controller for generating a computer screen according to a command, and has a graphic generation capability equivalent to, for example, SVGA (Super Video Graphic Array) or XGA (eXtended Graphic Array). The graphic processing controller 109 generates a graphic of a GUI (Graphical User Interface) operation screen or an EPG screen, for example.

When the reproduced video restored by the MPEG2 decompression processing by the decoder 104 and the computer image generated by the graphic processing controller 109 are superimposed and processed, the composer 108 performs a composition process.

Next, a description will be given of a system configuration for executing a process executed by the recording apparatus of the present invention, that is, recording reservation for content for which a broadcast date and time has not been determined, with reference to FIG.
